Bluesky, a social media platform, has the look and feel of Twitter and is aimed at giving its users more control. However, it cannot be accessed by everyone. Here is all you need to know about the Twitter alternative.Bluesky is currently not accessible by everyone due to a long waiting list of users. However, users of Bluesky who had early access to the platform said that they liked the new platform as it has a look and feel very similar to Twitter, but it gives more control to its users in terms of what they can share on the platform, reported NBC News.Jack Dorsey, who co-founded Twitter, has always felt that Twitter was not abiding by its democratic principles. In an attempt to create an ambitious decentralised platform (where information is not controlled by a single entity), Jack Dorsey came up with the project BlueSky in 2019 to create a more open and democratic social media ecosystem. Dorsey has previously expressed his concerns about the centralized control and power that social media platforms have over users information.

Elon Musk had taken over Twitter in the middle of 2022. Earlier it was a microblogging platform, but now that the character limit has been extended, users are tweeting longer messages, kind of like spamming the Twitter feed. Moreover, the coveted blue tick is not so coveted anymore as anyone who pays a monthly subscription fee can avail the tick.

Now that people are looking for alternate social media platforms to express or promote their cause, Bluesky is slowly gaining popularity. Backed by former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey, Bluesky has the look and feel of Twitter, but better - It does not eat your data, it does not force you to release information, and it does not even censor the post you upload, according to reports.
